The Gibeon meteorite (English: Gibeon meteorite; officially only called Gibeon) is an iron meteorite, with fragments first discovered in 1836 in southwest Africa, near the town of Gibeon on the eastern bank of the Great Fish River (Visrivier) in the Kharas region. It was first described by Capt. James Edward Alexander. The imperial geologist Paul Range reported in 1913 about individual masses found in situ resting on the Pleistocene Kalahari limestones present in the area. The age of formation of the meteorite itself is estimated to be over four billion years.
